Online and Phone Support
Connect with other patients and caregivers online or by phone. PHA support programs are facilitated by trained, experienced community volunteers. Known as PHA PHriends, the volunteers are trained to listen to your story, share tips and advice from their own experiences, and refer you to helpful resources. PHA volunteers never provide medical advice, which should come from your physician.
Support line
Support Line volunteers answer questions, lend a sympathetic ear or guide you in solving problems or issues related to living with PH. Call PHA’s toll-free support line to speak with a volunteer: 800-748-7274.
Peer Mentor program
Connect with a PHA Peer Mentor for one-on-one support. Known as PHA PHriends, the volunteers are trained to listen to your story, share tips and advice from their own experiences, and refer you to helpful resources.
Note: PHA Peer Mentors never provide medical advice. Medical questions should be directed to your physician.
